The local banking club is having a bake sale as fundraiser. To predict how many desserts to order, they sent out a survey to patrons. If the baking club was to sell 1984 desserts, how many cupcakes do they need to order
Based on the survey results:
4 cookies x 1984 desserts = 7936 cookies
3 brownies x 1984 desserts = 5952 brownies
2 pies x 1984 desserts = 3968 pies
7 cupcakes x 1984 desserts = 13888 cupcakes
To determine how many cupcakes to order, subtract the total number of cookies, brownies, and pies from the total number of desserts to be sold:
1984 desserts - (7936 cookies + 5952 brownies + 3968 pies) = 77,586 cupcakes
Thus, the baking club needs to order 13,888 cupcakes for the bake sale.
